Check the weather forecast before booking - visibility was about 20m as the cloud cover was so low The trip itself was well organised with a guide Litter/fly tipping everywhere
The trip up Mount Etna is well worth it. Amazing views and if you go the extra to 3000 meters you are almost at the top of the mountain. The only thing which let our tour down was the lack of organization. The ticket booth and cable car entry is quite narrow and chaotic. Out tour guide told us to wait for her and then at the top rushed off with half the group to pick up the guide leaving the rest of us behind to sort out our own tour of the craters. I think it actually worked out better for us so my tip is to go round by yourself.
This was a great day excursion. Our guide, Aleksandra, was very pleasant, informative and knowledgable. Unfortunately, the weather was not good. I wish they would have given us the option to decide if we still wanted to go all the way to the top knowing that we couldn't see 2 feet in front of us. I probably would have chosen to go to the 2 lower craters( one of which is a 25 minute walk up). Really nothing to see at the top. If I were to do this again, I would not book in advance and decide upon arrival if I wanted to spend the extra money to go up. No need to do this if there's nothing to see.
AMAZING guides were fantastic walked on warm larvae from recent eruption. Views were incredible had so much freedom to do what you wanted. Will always remember this trip We went up the cable cars in further up via buses, but walking up was available to those fitter than us
Excellent tour. Don't normally take organised tours on holiday, but this seemed a good way to manage a trip to Etna without own car. Very well organised with the opportunity to spend some time on your own. Excellent guide provided just the right amount of information. Would recommend taking the full tour including cable car and jeep ride. Make sure you take a warm jacket.
Oh my gosh! What an adventure. We really enjoyed our Mount Etna trip. It was a pity the cable car wasn't operating on the day of our visit due to winds, but we enjoyed so much nevertheless. The views from the mountain, the excitement of walking through the black ash/rock. When we reached 9,000 feet, it was so windy and cold and we couldn't see too far in front of us, however we had an excellent quide whose information on the volcano was brilliant. Felt so refreshed and energised after our day. Marco, our guide throughout was a mine of information and Enzo, our driver, was very experienced and a very safe driver.
Very well organised --we went to the summit and it was very windy, definitely a good idea to hire coats. Spectacular views and a very strange landscape--all in all we'll worth it. I don't think we would have enjoyed it so much if we hadn't gone to the summit. we were back in Giardini Naxos for a late afternoon swim which was great.
